Arianne Zuker's Nicole told EJ that she was pregnant with his baby earlier today on Days of Our Lives.

With the secret loose, how will EJ react?

"I'm not sure if he believes her, because of her past," Zuker told The New York Daly News. "This is Nicole's chance to do something right with her life. All this girl wants is a family after her father put her in, yes, ladies and gentlemen, porn. She just wants to be loved by a man and get that love back."

Nicole's dream is complicated, of course, because EJ already has one child with Sami - and another one on the way.

"No one knows that but Sami and Lucas," said the actress. "There is a teaser coming up where Nicole and Sami run into each other at the Brady Pub and have to sit next to each other because it's totally crowded. Someone orders a plate of clams, and they're both like, 'It's not ours.' They look at each each other like they are both going to be completely sick. It's funny."

In a new interview with Soap Opera Weekly, Arianne Zucker spoke about two of her favorite causes: giving to charity and going on adventure trips.

Here are excerpts from the conversation between the publication and the Days of Our Lives actress:

Weekly: Is there a particular pet charity you support?
Zucker: I did my first event for a group called Dogs in Danger. It was a doggie fashion show and a lot of fun. It's a newer charity for abused and abandoned dogs. There are so many out there, and they try to get the dogs adopted [and] find homes for them.

Weekly: You mentioned charities that support abused women, too. Is there one you strongly support?
Zucker: Yes. There's a very important one called The Shepherd's Door. I attended their event last summer. They asked me to host it this year, but unfortunately I was not available. It's really interesting. As much as I love animals, the woman who runs The Shepherd's Door told me there are actually more facilities for abused animals than there are for abused women.

Weekly: So what’s next on your to-do list?
Zucker: I would like to go on a level four or five, work up to doing bigger rapids. They’re bigger and steeper, and you get all soaked out there in your raft. That would be awesome.

Weekly: What about tackling something else, like skydiving or bungee-jumping?
Zucker: No. I'm not a jumping-out of-a-perfectly-good-airplane type of person. Anything on the ground is fine with me. As for midair adventures, I'm not interested.

During a recent interview, Arianne Zuker discussed the numerous changes her Days of Our Lives character have undergone over the last few weeks:

They hinted at it before, a little bit, but really never touched upon it. It's a challenge for me, because I'm going from being flip then, in certain moments, my vulnerability comes out. It's really hard to try to hide it. I think that Nicole wants so badly to trust somebody.

Arianne Zuker stars on Days of Our Lives.

She's never really, truly dealt with anything. I don't know if you're anyone who's ever had an issue in your life, but those of us who have, if you don't deal with it, at some point it's going to explode. I think she's getting to that boiling point. She's about to burst. As we all know she's got a little bit of a bad history. I think that's kind of why she's so flippant and why she can go from one place to the other She's just so busy covering now.

It's just so great; I just find so many wonderful things. And in working with Ed Scott and Noel Maxam, they're so willing to listen to my ideas and really work with me and really just make, not only the show, but my character just amazing.

We'd like to wish Arianne Zuker a very happy birthday. The Days of Our Lives star turns 34 today!

It look like Sami and Chloe's worst nightmare is set to begin April 2!

On that date, Nicole Walker Roberts Kiriakis (Arianne Zuker) explodes back onto the Salem scene on Days of Our Lives. Online rumors state the diva, who once battled Sami for Austin and Chloe for Brady, arrives at the mansion owned by ex-sugar daddy hubby Victor like she still owns the place.

As seen here, Nicole will be armed with a Chihuahua named Pookie. Now that sounds interesting! Welcome home, Arianne.

After weeks of speculation, Soap Opera Network has confirmed that actress Arianne Zuker is returning to Days of Our Lives in the role of Nicole Walker.

Zuker left the show in 2006, but was rumored to be returning to the series after message boards began discussing what further changes the series would be making after it was announced that Martha Madison (Belle) and Brandon Beemer (Shawn D.) were being released.

We look forward to Zuker reprising her role on Days of Our Lives.
